Three Gradients of Physiological Importance

  
Concentration Gradient
If:  
1.The concentration in AREA 1 is different from the concentration in AREA 2
2.The concentration in AREA 1 is greater than the concentration in AREA 2.  

Then 

1.  Movement will occur from area 1 to area 2.  
2.  If we allow it to move unencumbered, equilibrium would be reached.  

   
Pressure Gradient
If:  
1.The pressure in AREA 1 is different from the pressure in AREA 2
2.The pressure in AREA 1 is greater than the pressure in AREA 2.  

Then 

1.  Movement will occur from area 1 to area 2.  
2.  If we allow it to move unencumbered, equilibrium would be reached.  

    
Temperature Gradient
If:  
1.The temperature in AREA 1 is different from the temperature in AREA 2
2.The temperature in AREA 1 is greater than the temperature in AREA 2.  

Then 

1.  Movement will occur from area 1 to area 2.  
2.  If we allow it to move unencumbered, equilibrium would be reached.
